ShowClix is an online event technology company for live and virtual events headquartered in Wexford, Pennsylvania that handles ticket sales, marketing, and on-site operations for fandom conventions, museums, attractions, festivals, consumer shows, and music and comedy venues. New York Comic Con, Candytopia, and Rick Bronson's House of Comedy are among ShowClix's clients. [1]
The company was founded in 2007 by Joshua Dziabiak and Lynsie Campbell, initially as an event registration database. The pair later focused on creating a web-based ticketing solution. Prior to forming the company, Dziabiak met Campbell while working together at Spreadshirt, an online platform for creating and selling personalized apparel. [2]
The company was launched in 2011. [1]
On July 31, 2017, ShowClix received a strategic investment by Providence Strategic Growth ("PSG"), the growth equity affiliate of Providence Equity Partners. [3] With that investment, ShowClix and PatronManager became the first two products at Patron Technology. [4]
In 2019, ShowClix apologized for a ticketing "meltdown" at Burning Man that led to difficulty getting tickets, which ShowClix chalked up to a "manual intervention" during a sale. [5] [6]
On September 24, 2020, Patron Technology received another strategic investment, this time from Vector Capital, a leading private equity firm specializing in transformational investments in established technology businesses. The firm has about $4 Billion of capital under management, and believes that, with their investment, Patron Technology and all products underneath its umbrella will rise in the live events industry once the COVID-19 pandemic in which they made their initial investment ends.
